About
I am: a cook, potter, economist, designer, plumber, musician, gardener, lover of the natural world and of the human talent for finding and creating beauty, or just noticing it when it's right there in front of us. I spend my days trying to combine my love for the natural world with my sense of elegant design, honed by years of pottery, hand-work, and having grown up with two parents who design for a living. In recent months, I have embarked on the road to becoming a trained ecological economist, and hope to use my skills as one to help guide our world to a far more conscious, elegantly designed, thoroughly considered future.
I long to be fully engaged in the process of intelligent design, synthesizing elegant constructions that fit into their surroundings and mesh and work within them and with them like they evolved and grew up right there on the spot. And as someone who understands that ecology and economics share a common root, I want to make sure that any "green" solutions we come up with are sustainable in the long run, as economics is not about money - money is a symptom of economics, not the basis of the discipline. Economics is about observing the system and its complexities, and figuring out the interrelations and patterns behind resources and the behaviors that center around them.
That's not to say I'm there yet. I'm a perpetual student, always learning and honing and trying new things and discovering how far there is yet to go. But I'm okay with that. So long as what I'm doing feels good on a deep level, so long as I'm still learning and challenged and have a chance to be creative, I'm a happy guy.

The first name rings a bell, can't place the last name. Does he work for Real Goods?
Way cool though, great to see the word already spread.
Hope to see you here soon,
